A collaborative effort between a graphic artist and a college student studying graphic design has yielded a new logo for the Village of Belgium.

The Village Board on Monday selected the logo from a group of six similar designs.

Trustees preferred the font of University of Wisconsin-Green Bay student Micalah Taylor — the niece of Treasurer Vickie Boehnlein — and the design of graphic designer Sherry Smies, who is originally from the area.

Months of debate over safety, noise pollution, quality of life and other issues that came with a request for a conditional use permit for a pay-to-hunt bird preserve in the Town of Belgium turned out to be irrelevant.

It turns out Dan Large, who with his wife Ann own and operate Pheasants @ Large, a pay-to-hunt operation near highways KW and A in the town, didn’t need to ask the town for permission to expand the business to a 65-acre parcel at the corner of Lake Church and Silver Beach roads. He just needed a license from the Department of Natural Resources, which he received.
